CORNHUSKER SQUAD IS
, . RESTINGAFTER WORK
VARSITY MEN TAKE IT EA8Y"FOR
8EVERAL DAY8.
THE SCRUBS KEEP ON PRACTICING
Coach Cole Devotes Some Time
Second Team Which Trimmed
Mornlngslde Last Saturday
at 8loux City.
to
The Cornhuskers are enjoying a
much needed rest this week after the
seven long weeks of hard training
since practice began. The season
started late this year and with a big
game on the schedule early In the
year tho men had to go into the work
with a rush. Every evening has seen
them faithfully at work striving to
get into condition and keep In condi
tion for the big games.
But this week will see a let-up in
the strenuous training life. The next
game is with Denver, and as that Is
two weeks off, Cole feels that he can
afford to give his men a little rest so
that they will not go stale. ,
Nebraska's Good Physical Condition.
The team has been carefully trained
this year, as Saturday's contest
proved. Not a man on tho team re
ceived anything in tho nature of a
serious Injury, and time was taken
out for Nebraska but three times. Not
a man was compelled to leave the
Held on account of injuries, while on
the other hand Kansas made three
substitutes.
There is something remarkable
about the way the Nebraska. team has
stood up to its standard this year.
With but one full set of men and prac
tically no substitutes the team has
been frequently placed In a precarious
position. The regulars havo had to
stand the brunt of Iho battle until
finally beaten down they have been
compelled to give way. This has been
the case in at least two big contests.
Had Cole tho same reliable substi
tutes that either tho Minnesota or
Kansas coaches have, the story in
both of those contests might have
been different. But all the season
through these eleven or twelve de
pendable men have gone on and done
the work of a score. They certainly
deserve credit for what they have done
and they have earned a rest.
Another remarkable fact 1b the ab
sence of any serious injuries In the
Cprnhusker ranks either in any of tho
big contests or In. scrimmage work.
Tales of serious accidents are heard
from other schools, but so far this
year, Nebraska has gone through with
a clean record. Much of tho credit for
this state of affairs la due to the care
ful training and coaching, tho train
era and coaches taking a personal In
terest in the welfare of every man.
Cole Training 8orubsf
Cole Is devoting most of his time
this week to the scrubs. Several of
these men are of varsity calibre, but
they ar .Ineligible. They will be
needed next year, however, to fill the
void left by the passing of at least
four of this year's regulars. Last year
Cole was unable to devote sufficient
time to the scrubs and the result was
that he had an extra amount of work
on his hands this year in developing
his raw, material.
That the scrubs are not a team to
be despised Is shown by the way they
walkod over Mornlngslde at Sioux City
Saturday. The final score was 0 to 0,
but this does not tell the tale. Throe
times the scrubs pushed the ball over
the MornlngBldo goal lino only to be.
called back and penalized. One ot
these penalties occurred after the ball
bad been pushed over from Morning
aide's two-yard' lino, The referee
penalized Nebraska for ho$Ing, . But
common aenso would acorn to dictate
the scrubs were making from three
to ten yards at every buck.
Frank, Gibson, Wood, Potter and
Hornburger all played stellar ball Tor
tho Nebraskans, whlld the rest of the
team were also in evidence.
The BcrubB are not kicking so much
over tho loss of the game, however,
for they are not soreheads. What
they do complain about is tho treat
ment of the Mornlngslde management.
After promising to keep the team un
til they could return on Sunday
noon's train the Mornlngslde manager
went down to the hotel and paid the
bill to 'Saturday night,' leaving the Ne
braska boys to pay their own ex
penses over night and up till noon
the next day. '

A future brilliant In Its achlovomont
in literature, Bclenco and art, brought
about by the highest type of cosmopol

Professor George Elliott Howard In a
lectufo beforo his class In sociology lfi
Monday.
Professor Howard was speaking of
the results of race intermingling. He
dealt especially with the conditions in
this country, which Is tho most cos
mopolitan nation of the world. A vast
per centage of the Inhabitants of tho
United States nro born with a large
strain of foreign blood. Tho good or
evil to result from such a condition
Is now a matter questioned by scien
tific thinkers os well as by the com
mon people. Professor Howard Is
firm In this belief that in the central
west at least the mixture will pro
duce good results.
West to the Front.
"Tho Intermixture of blood In tho
west Is that calculated to bring good,"
said Professor Howard. "A mixturo
between two great extremes Is likely
to result badly, but crossing In tho
proper proportions cannot but result
In great advantage by reason of the
infusion of new blood into the old
status. I believe that the conditions
in the west are such that wo havo tho
right mixture, the correct percentage
of demotic population to produce great
results.
"Already the west is coming to tho
front Its men are occupying leading
places in this country. Is it possible
for the west to produce tho literature,
the paintings of tho future? I cannot
seo why it is not. Men of ability in
these branches havo already come

strive for a place with tho literary
men of tho east is a most Interesting

distinguished literary geniuses of the
eastern civilization, and now he is ac
corded the deanship of American lit
erature.
"The great -humorists have como'

most noteworthy examples Is Carver,

Tho art exhibit In Library Hall is
proving u success ngaln UiIb year. Tho
exhibit, which Is brought here under
the management of tho Nebraska Art
Association, has been drawing largo
crowds since It opened November 1.
Tho people of Lincoln are patronizing
it well and a large number of stu
dents have been visiting tho pictures,
but tho student attendance is smaller
than the nature of the exhibit should
warrant.
This year there are 1011 pictures In
all, besides a number of pieces of
sculpture. The palntlngB are mostly
oil, tho remainder being wntor color.
Thoy aro from tho brushes of some of
tho best living artiBts In Amorlca to
day. No foreign pictures aro on ex
hibition. Some of tho moro prom
inent artists showing specimens are:
Robort Henri, Charles Warren Eaton,
Mary Cirssett, Bruco Crano, Gail Mel
chors and Althea Hill Piatt Ono Lin
coln artist, Sara S. Hayden, has a
number of water colors on exhibition
that aro attracting much fnvorablo
comment.
Valuable Pictures.
Tho highest priced painting in tho
collection is "Wood Pinks," by W. St.
John Harpor, which Is valued at 8,
000. Another wonderful piece of work
Is "Married," by Garl Molchors, val
ued at 13.000. Tho total value of tho
collection runs into many thousands
of dollars. All of tho pictures aro for
sale by their exhibitors. While there
are a few less pictures this yoar than
last,, they are in general of a bettor
quality. There aro a number of largo

Tho plan ot having a number of art

is being followed again this year. Dr.

Tho chanco for a wlnnlng'tenm this

that Is tho number of old mon who

Along with theso old men who are
